Pros

- working alongside like minded individuals - 23% commission uncapped once you're bringing the company >15K weekly (there's maybe 3-8 people in each office)

Cons

- corporate recruiters sell you on an account manager position yet you're hired as a recruiter - a role they explain very little of because the desire is to get everyone into sales - no lead generation resources - you're on your own - lots of busy work - you do all of the paperwork associated with any "start" you secure...makes getting into a groove very hard - heavily peer pressured to drink with coworkers on work nights for "culture" - constant turnover and management is always taboo when addressing it - strict 1 hour lunch windows - minimal flexibility, feels like elementary school - no remote access or laptops provided, get used to the office setting - heavy favoritism when you're doing well, little guidance when struggling - first 6 months you're making dirt money (~15/hr) and working 50 hours a week if you want to get promoted - recruiters don't make commission (many other places pay entry level recruiters commission on their sales) - Account Managers don't make commission until after they accrue >$4,000 in weekly commission (hint - takes a few months to build your book of business) - 5 days PTO first year, then 10 in year 2, 15 in year 3...get comfy at your desk - huge divide between the IT side of the office & Accounting, Finance, Engineering side... - very little transferable job skills...you pigeon hole yourself into a staffing career if you drink the kool aid for too long - for bragging about being the "third largest IT staffing firm" our company has boatloads of IT issues and the help desk is hardly helpful....overall the tech used at IG is outdated and inefficient

Pros

The recruiters you get hired with are great, too bad you all end up quitting.

Cons

If you are not looking to get into IT recruitment/sales as a career, stay away from this job. This company will draw you in with talk of extremely high salaries, luxurious trips, and rapid promotion. They will hire a group of 20-25 recruiters after graduation and roughly 80% will quit before their first 6 months. I met great people working there and we all left the company and got a late start into the career that we actually wanted to get into. I saw a review calling this company a sweatshop for recent college grad's, and we all agreed that it was completely accurate. Terrible starting pay for the work you do, extremely long hours, and only a few lucky ones make the salaries that they talk about during your interview. There's a reason that there are only a handful of people over the age of 30 working in these offices.

Pros

-The people are nice and fun to work with if you click with that kind of personality. -Looks good on a resume to those who don't know what the company is or how it operates

Cons

After getting a much better paying job that respects its employers I realized I need to inform others of what they may be getting into before its too late. -If you aren't a big drinker you will feel uncomfortable at times because it is expected that you hangout on the weekends and drink with everyone. -You are expected to be in your chair working at 7:30am every morning on the dot and cannot leave a second earlier than 5pm -The office can get get very clique-y, and you won't be included in one unless you go out and drink with everyone on the weekends or stay late at work to impress the AM's. - A lot is expected of you with little direction and if you don't perform your Account Manager will be upset. -10 PTO days but they make you feel guilty if you want to use one. -It feels like you are just a number. I was with this company for a short amount of time but I witnessed so many people leave and be replaced the next day. -You are encouraged to convince desperate people to accept a job that is below what they are looking for in pay even if we can pay them more.. you don't tell them that we can give them more money so that your Account Manger can make more money. It feels very wrong. -Role-playing was the absolute worst and they would have you do it on the spot randomly in a meeting with all of the recruiters. -Pay for your own parking -Underpaid, also empty promises of make a lot of money. Telling you how successful you could be if you stayed in this miserable job for a little longer was there way of holding on to recruiters as long as possible. -Account managers would often tell recruiters how to dress (had to wear heels and weren't allowed to wear winter boots into the building in the snow), not to come in late, I was even told not to switch out my heels for flats before 5pm at 4:55pm, etc, and these AM's were only a couple months into this role. It seemed as thought they got power hungry quickly and recruiters were frustrated by it.
